I have. What I did was originally based on some of Pierre's comments
that you referenced.
Basically, you leave the MC stack running normally, and you communicate
with it via PHP and sockets.

Would not this mean that in this case it's not a CGI solution any more but a "regular" f MC running Stack that listens to some port and behaves like web server? Something like mchttpd.mc stack that Scott Raney put together and Andre later enhanced? If this is the case, what PHP adds to it other than robustness and reliability ?

In other words, is PHP absolutely necessary for such a solution or not ?


You'll need to install a PHP script such as this one as the
intermediary:
http://istream.homeunix.com/insead/page4_en.html

Then you need mostly the first two handlers from here:
http://istream.homeunix.com/insead/page5_en.html

The PHP scripts will pass the POST args to your stack, which then sends
back an HTTP reply. This definitely works - if you have specific
questions, I may be able to answer them also.

Thanks Brian, appreciate your help. BTW are planing to attend conference in Monterey ? If yes, that could be a good opportunity for me to "interrogate" you in person :)

best regards
Tariel
